DS CLI host attachment commands

This section summarizes the DS CLI commands that are related to host attachment, such as port configuration.

Table 1 lists the core DS CLI commands that are useful for host attachment. Some Copy Services commands are also host attachment related but are not listed here. See CLI commands for details on DS CLI commands, their syntax, and example output.

Table 1. Host attachment related DS CLI commands
Command	Description
chhostconnect	Modifies a SCSI host port configuration.
lsavailpprcport	Displays a list of ESCON or fibre-channel I/O ports that can be defined as remote mirror and copy (formerly PPRC) paths. The DS6000™ supports only fibre-channel ports. The Enterprise Storage Server (2105 machine type) supports fibre-channel and ESCON ports.
lshba	Displays a list of storage image host bus adapter (HBA) field replaceable units (FRUs) and status information for each FRU in the list.
lshostconnect	Displays a list of host connections for a storage image and the status information for each host connection in the list.
lshosttype	Displays a list of known hosts, their associated port profiles, address discovery, and logical block size values. Use this command to get the available host types for the mkhostconnect command.
lshostvol	Displays the mapping of host device names or volume names to machine type 2105, 2107, and 1750 volume IDs.
lsioport	Displays a list of I/O ports (both ESCON and fibre-channel) on a specified storage image and optionally provides performance metrics for each listed I/O port. The DS6000 supports only fibre-channel ports. The Enterprise Storage Server (2105 machine type) supports fibre-channel and ESCON ports.
lsportprof	Displays a list of port profiles that are supported on a storage image and their recommended address discovery and logical block size values.
lssi	Displays a list of storage images in a storage complex. You can use this command to look at the status of each storage image in the list. The storage image worldwide node name (WWNN) is displayed when this command is used. You must use the storage image WWNN when you use the lsavailpprcport and mkpprcpath commands.
managehostconnect	Modifies the volume group assignment for a SCSI host port.
mkhostconnect	Configures open systems hosts port attachments to fibre channel ports that are configured for FC-AL or SCSI-FCP topology. Open systems hosts port attachments to fibre-channel ports are configured for identified access mode and SCSI protocol.
rmhostconnect	Removes a SCSI host port connection from a storage image.
setioport	Configures one or more I/O ports for open systems or zSeries host system connections. This command cannot be used for ESCON ports. The DS6000 supports only fibre-channel ports. The Enterprise Storage Server (2105 machine type) supports fibre-channel and ESCON ports.
showhostconnect	Displays detailed properties of a storage image host connection.
showioport	Displays properties of an ESCON or fibre-channel I/O port. It optionally displays the performance metrics for an I/O port. The DS6000 supports only fibre-channel ports. The Enterprise Storage Server (2105 machine type) supports fibre-channel and ESCON ports.
showsi	Displays detailed properties of a storage image. The storage image worldwide node name (WWNN) is displayed when this command is used. You must use the storage image WWNN when you use the lsavailpprcport and mkpprcpath commands.
